Almond Crusted Cod
Almond Crusted Cod | A moist and tender fish full of flavor with beer, almonds, bread crumbs and fresh thyme. A light breading, high heat and a drizzle of oil deliver the ideal oven-fried meal. I also used chicken tenders in place of the cod….just as delicious! If you don’t want to dip your fish in beer you can also use egg whites and milk. Cod is a mild flavored white saltwater fish that’s lean and firm.
Other breading choices are, crushed whole grain wheat thins, crushed tortilla chips, crushed cornflakes or crushed pretzels. Serve along side Bake Chips lemon wedge, Mustard Dill Dipping Sauce or Spicy Dipping Sauce.

Hi Carmela, Glad you liked the recipe.
This was a great recipe! Very flavorful and easy to prepare. After seeing how much it made, I saved half of the almond and breadcrumb mixture for future use (before I breaded the fish).
Thank you Arlene!
